Audio-Technica ATH-M20x

With the ATH-M series, Audio-Technica offers a whole range of closed-back, studio-oriented monitoring headphones for every budget. What they all have in common is a very solid construction, delicate sound reproduction with slight emphasis on the bass and treble ranges, and a circumaural design that is very comfortable to wear even during long sessions. The ATH-M models have comparatively low impedance. Accordingly, they can be used at a reasonable volume level with mobile devices that do not have the output power of a headphone amplifier or interface. Thanks to their good sound isolation, the headphones are also quite suitable for DJs and in noisy environments.

The closed-back design and good sound isolation of the ATH-M20x make it the ideal companion for loud recording sessions where, for example, a drum kit is being recorded in the same room. In turn, it also ensures less crosstalk in vocal recordings when the singer is recording over loud backing. Thanks to their linear frequency response, the headphones also excel at production and mixing tasks. For DJs who like the circumaural design, the ATH-M20x offers sufficient sound isolation and adequate volume to pre-listen even in loud clubs. If you're looking for headphones just for enjoying music, you'll be impressed by the refined treble reproduction and tight bass for this price category.

Whether a musician, producer, or DJ, everyone should find what they are looking for in the ATH-M series from Audio-Technica. The differences between the various models lie more in the features than in the sound. If you're looking for a reliable and solid pair of headphones for many applications, you'll find it here. Audio-Technica offers an option in every price category and each headphone model has an excellent price-to-performance ratio.
